need some help with my c20xe redtop engine as it will not start 
it used to run perfectly fine with no problems at all but then i took it off the road and it hasnt been started for about 6 months now. iv now come back to bringing it back out and it will not start. seems to be over fueling for some reason? iv got a spark and also got fuel but still it wont fire. iv changed the coolent temp sensor just incase this was broke but its still the same any help would be great cheers.

I take it you have sprayed all leads etc with wd40, as dampness can cause the spark to track all over the place, and car will not start.
Do the inside of the distributor as well, if the engine has one, as I am not too sure about that.
Failing that, it might well be the crank shaft sensor, because if this is on the blink, you can turn the engine over til doomsday, and it will never start.
Hope this helps.

you cant guarentee your plugs are fine just by looking at them, try plugs, starrt off simple, try things like distributor cap, rotor arm etc etc for the price new for all the items that wear out its worth goin out, buyin em and bangin em on, no messin
